. Application tiled February 1, 1887; Srl-'nl No. 226,201. (No model.)

in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio,have invented a new and usefulDevice in Photographic Printing, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in photograph printing andvignetting frames; and it consists in the peculiar combinations and theconstruction, arrangement, and adap-A tation ofparts, all as more fullyhereinafter described and claimed. A

VIn the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification,Figure 1 is a perspective view of the printing-frame, showing the wireframe in place; and Fig. 2 is a similat view with the wire frameunhooked and raised for the insertion otthe vignetter and lissue'paperor other material.

Referring by. letter to the drawings, A designates a printing-frame ofany approved construction, provided upon one side with looped hinges C,which engage one side of the quadrilateral Wire frame B, all four sidesof which are convex in a vertical plane,with the convex side toward the.printing-frame.

E E are spring-clasps secured to the opposite sidts of the frame A, andare each provided with a slot, F, which engage catches or lugs D on thewire frame B, thus securing the said frame in place when desired.Thehinges C form loops, which permit a vertical play ol' the Wire frame.The rear side, ct, of the quad rilateral wire frame is not in axial linewith the hinge, but forms an offset thereWith,as shown.

By means of this construction the foursides of the quadrilateral framewill always firmly clamp the vignette and tissue, and the thickness ofthelayers does not make any difference.

What I claim as new is- 1. The combination, with theprinl ing-frame, of`a quadrilateral wire frame loosely hinged on one side of said frame andprovided with spring-hasps on the opposite sides, and with the sidesbent conveXl y downward, all substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the frame A and the hooked hinges O,secured toone side there of, of the wire frame B, loosely engaging thc loops ofsaid hinges and having its sides bent convexly downward, thespring-clasps E, sc- Y.

cured to'said frame A, and the catches D on the frameBengaging saidclasps, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.
